The Beneteau First 44 is the latest addition to the prestigious line of First racer-cruisers, a legacy that has been evolving for over forty-five years. Designed by the renowned Naval Architect Roberto Biscontini, this exceptional yacht bridges the gap between the First 36 and the First 53, offering a perfect blend of performance, elegance, and comfort.
The cockpit is thoughtfully designed for social sailing, featuring four winches positioned conveniently forward of the helm and easy access to spacious side decks. The sail plan is expertly crafted to achieve a perfect balance between the mainsail and foresail, ensuring optimal sailing performance.
Inside, the First 44 boasts a well-appointed layout with three cabins, including a forward master suite with en-suite facilities and two aft cabins, along with an additional day head. The saloon, designed for both comfort and functionality, seamlessly combines dining, galley, and navigation spaces while maintaining the bright, open atmosphere Beneteau yachts are known for.
We offer comprehensive finance and part-exchange options to make owning your dream yacht even easier.

The New Beneteau First 44 is a pedigree racer cruiser built on years of performance yacht designs that have been competitive from day 1 and are still producing results 10 or more years since their launch. This version of the 44 is the more cruising orientated version with an edge that makes her a fast boat to sail but with additional comforts to make extended cruising even more enjoyable. To assist with short handed sailing the winches and control lines are all led close to the helm positions.
